On the day that mint first edition copies of Genius are arriving from the printer, here's what I found inside my fortune cookie:

I so look forward to reading your book. The study (in an armchair philosophical sort of way) of creativity is my "hobby". I am currently reading Csikszentmihalyi's "Creativity: Flow a& the Psychology of Discovery and Invention," sort of in preparation :) I have always appreciated his definition of "creativity." I have 5 lovely little children and am very aware of how much of a difference environment makes on their mental/learning states. So, as part of the "public", just wanted you to know I'm grateful for writers/thinkers like yourself that are willing to throw themselves into this beautiful conversation.
